How Bookmarking Work

• When you create a blog post, make sure that the keyword phrase is as close

to the beginning of the post as is possible. When you bookmark the post, use

the title of the post and tag the keyword as well. This is great for search

engine results. In fact, doing this is often termed search engine ‘bait’!

• Stay active on the social bookmarking website and bookmark every post.

As mentioned before, social bookmarks are bait for the search engines, and this

is an opportunity that is not to be wasted.

• Social bookmarking leads to more people reading your articles, posts etc.,

and over time this will create additional credibility for you. It can also lead to

repeat traffic, referrals, sales, newsletter sign ups, comments on your blogs,

emails from readers etc. In order to make the most of the social bookmarking

website, you need to have all these functions working for you.

• Interaction is your biggest and most potent weapon in social bookmarking.

Links back to websites rely on being bookmarked and getting read. With

advancing technology, you can add video, audio, RSS feeds etc to get more

and more interaction on your website and eventual links back to your website.

• The content on your website must be good. There is no substitute for good

quality content when it comes to generating traffic. You must ensure that you

get quality links as well, because the links that you receive on your website

must be from reliable sources and have to do be relevant to your content.

• Related to the point made earlier about having good content is the fact that

search engine spiders are always crawling good websites. Increasingly, social

bookmarking websites are becoming a favorite of search engines. This is

because there is a human element to social bookmarking. People are actively

involved in organizing and tagging their favorites. This is a strong indication

that the web page is extremely relevant to the search, much more so than a

simple keyword search.

 Here are some methods that you can employ to get the most benefit from social

bookmarking. Many of them focus on how to organize your information so that your

website shows up in more and more search results:
